BTW Is today Rachel's B-day?

Yes it is!

My thoughts of Quarantine, with accompanying illustrations...

Spoiler:

First off...

LLOL!!!

Ahem... carrying on...

There was absolutely BRILLIANT JT interaction in this episode, and what really made it for me were the little looks between the two. This was one of my favourites:


I was cracking up when John said he was scared that Teyla would go into labour, and I loved this little side look at her stomach.

And then he made her sit down, how cute is that?



And all the time she was looking at him like he was crazy. But then when she sat down, she had the loveliest smile on her face - kind of exasperated but really fond as well. I had trouble capturing it - this is the best I could do:



I generally loved the fact that they were sitting working together at the computers, and it was so funny when John cracked Rodney's password. Ah Rodney...



The conversation between them about whether or not Teyla would stay on the team was really bittersweet - and this is the second time in two weeks that John's mentioned his college years... is it me or had he never mentioned college before SoW? Oh well. I loved how he was staring at the computer, obviously not wanting to face the thought of Teyla not being on his team anymore. And then when he did look at her, the look... well -



And the family comment - OMG!!! Well, that was so squee-worthy!



And I thought that was it, you know, that was enough really, for the episode to make me completely happy with the JT progress... and then of course IT HAPPENED. First off, the look of sheer terror on John's face when Teyla gasped was just priceless:



And aw look at Teyla's pretty smile:



And I loved how quickly John went striding over to her when she said the baby was kicking, and how she just so naturally reached for his hand so he could feel too. I was literally squeeing, as I'm sure everyone else was as well!



And the smile!!!!! It was just so... so... !!!!!



Then of course Teyla had her little turn. I see two possibilities - one, the heat of the room etc (and maybe the smell of Rodney's laundry ) if getting to her, OR (and this is my personal favourite) feeling the baby kick has filled her with sadness again about Kanan and her people, and knowing that John is there for her as her friend and as 'family' makes her feel guilty because she is actually really happy that he is there for her, and makes her wish that her Basically, a GREAT episode, and another fantastic medley of JT moments! I was yelling at Rodney to just propose - poor, poor Katie! And during the RJ moments I was just grinning so widely... and wow, that Jen is a smart gal!

I'm sure I'll think of other stuff later.

Oh great caps Ruby....

Spoiler:

The JT moments were really excellent in Quarantine... John and Teyla just looked like an old married couple already, with John fussing over her... and the moment when she took his hand and put it on her stomach, I squeeed for joy.... They are just so comfortable with each other and I love how Teyla is always touching John... her actions always seem quite intimate when it comes to John.. she allows him in her personal space without hesitation... I just couldnt imagine Teyla being this comfortable with any other guy other than John.
I loved her concern for John too when he climbed up the tower and she couldnt see him.... she climbs out herself ..wow!! to me that really shows just how worried she was for him...sigh.. aww. The JT scenes were really the best in the episode and then Zelenka/Sam... I loved their interaction and Zelenka is such a cutie... and YAY he got to save the day. !!

Ronan/keller... sorry their interaction was a bit boring.. still not all that keen on Keller.. she is just a bit to "meh" for me.
Rodney was a bit disappointing I thought... poor Katie .. the man is clueless so I guess he really isn't ready for marriage after all..

[maffieg]

Yes it is!

Right just making sure...

[scifan]

Yep:.

Thanks Ruby.
I thought maybe we can try to break it down again. What to you think.
Correct for anything I get wrong.

Spoiler:

The brilliant one slowly loses his mind, (Something to do with Rodney. Maybe Last Man. )
While a group of replacements puts the team in a bind. (This Mortal Coil?)

Wallace’s research a menace let loose. (Outcast)

The key to success is compress not diffuse. (BAMSR, what happened to the Replicators.)
A relationship blossoms, an engagement is planned. (Ronon&Keller, Rodney&Katie)
An old enemy sweeps down and gains the upper hand. (Kindred)

In an underground chamber the trio is stuck, (Trio)

While Sheppard battles some really bad luck. (?Last Man? )

A corpse is discovered and John plays detective. (? Kindred?)

The city assailed by mutations infective. (Kindred?)

Call the doctor from Earth to help us take action, (Kavanaugh?)

As the death of a loved one spurs McKay into action. (Kindred?)

Get talked into escorting a precocious young brat. (Harmony)

The experiment’s minions the team will combat. (Kindred)

A battle is waged on the defender’s home field, (Midway)

And the means of production is fully revealed. (SOW and one other ep?)

Two warriors head off an incursion on Earth. (Outcast)

A mission is snagged by an untimely birth. (SOW?)

The status quo shifts, a power play made. (SOW)

The arrival of this one leave some feeling dismayed. (?)

An old friend returns, loyalties are reversed, (Carson, ?)

And a ghost from the past has us fearing the worst. ( Kolya)

Atlantis the target of a mysterious race, (?)

While myriad permutations are viewed from space. (?)

Oh yes agree with the bold part emphatically.

Spoiler:

Hmm...

Spoiler:

The arrival of this one leave some feeling dismayed. Elizabeth? Maybe... I'm not sure what dismayed means so...
Or... An old friend returns, loyalties are reversed- is Elizabeth, because her loyalties aren't like they were before, because now she's all bad..

[bluealien]

Thanks for the poem Ruby.. some of my speculation from Quarantine onwards...

Spoiler:

A relationship blossoms, an engagement is planned. Rodney/Katie

An old enemy sweeps down and gains the upper hand. Micheal ??

In an underground chamber the trio is stuck, Trio where Sam/Rodney/Keller get trapped

While Sheppard battles some really bad luck. Hmm ... interesting

A corpse is discovered and John plays detective. Also interesting

The city assailed by mutations infective. Michaels bugs !

Call the doctor from Earth to help us take action, Kavanaugh's return

As the death of a loved one spurs McKay into action. Oh.. maybe Katie does die after all..

Get talked into escorting a precocious young brat. Harmony..

The experiment’s minions the team will combat. Again Michael and his bug army coming to look for Teyla (his experiment)

A battle is waged on the defender’s home field, Battle in Atlantis

And the means of production is fully revealed. Hmmm.. revealed how Teyla became pregnant!!

Two warriors head off an incursion on Earth. Ronan and Shep off to earth

A mission is snagged by an untimely birth. huh!! does Teyla give birth??

The status quo shifts, a power play made. No clue

The arrival of this one leave some feeling dismayed. Twitter comes back and John is pissed .... eh upset...

An old friend returns, loyalties are reversed, Return of Carson

And a ghost from the past has us fearing the worst. Carson....

Atlantis the target of a mysterious race, Larrin gone rogue..

While myriad permutations are viewed from space. ???



So just like last year here are intriguing notions,

Sure to, no doubt, stir up strong fan emotions.

But do keep in mind while you revel or groan,

That it’s still very early. Nothing’s written in stone.

[Linda06]

Guys, I finished my fic! Here it is The last chapter

[TeylaFan]

Yes, I just saw your review! I am so glad you liked it Linda, thanks so much!!!

[YappiChick]

My take...

Spoiler:

A relationship blossoms, an engagement is planned. Ronon/Keller, Rodney/Katie--Quarantine

An old enemy sweeps down and gains the upper hand. Michael--Kindred

In an underground chamber the trio is stuck, Sam/Rodney/Keller--Trio

While Sheppard battles some really bad luck. The Last Man

A corpse is discovered and John plays detective. Outcast

The city assailed by mutations infective. Kindred--read the summary. A mysterious illness? Hmm...

Call the doctor from Earth to help us take action, Outcast

As the death of a loved one spurs McKay into action. TMC? With Elizabeth being "dead" or Miller's Crossing with Wallace's daughter dying

Get talked into escorting a precocious young brat. Harmony

The experiment’s minions the team will combat. Kindred

A battle is waged on the defender’s home field, The replicator--Outcast

And the means of production is fully revealed. Spoils of War--how Wraith reproduce

Two warriors head off an incursion on Earth. Ronon and Shep--Outcast

A mission is snagged by an untimely birth. Kindred 2

The status quo shifts, a power play made. BAMSR--the alliance between all the people

The arrival of this one leave some feeling dismayed. Bates? Is he in Outcast or Midway?

An old friend returns, loyalties are reversed, BAMSR, Elizabeth

And a ghost from the past has us fearing the worst. Carson--Kindred

Atlantis the target of a mysterious race, Larrin--Travellers

While myriad permutations are viewed from space. BAMSR-the distruction of the replicators

Just my guess...

Spoiler:

I was yelling at the screen when she climbed onto the windowsill - I was so worried that she would go out there that I didn't even think too clearly about it - but you're right, that was so very sweet! And I agree about the JT moments being the best thing in the episode - I can't get over how sweet it was!

Thanks Ruby.

Correct for anything I get wrong.

Spoiler:

The brilliant one slowly loses his mind, (Something to do with Rodney. Maybe Last Man. ) Agreed!
While a group of replacements puts the team in a bind. (This Mortal Coil?)They're all from the back half of the season, so it can't be TMC... this one stumped me before as well.

Wallace’s research a menace let loose. (Outcast)Yep!

The key to success is compress not diffuse. (BAMSR, what happened to the Replicators.)Ya-huh...
A relationship blossoms, an engagement is planned. (Ronon&Keller, Rodney&Katie)Yep
An old enemy sweeps down and gains the upper hand. (Kindred)Agreed

In an underground chamber the trio is stuck, (Trio)Yep

While Sheppard battles some really bad luck. (?Last Man? )Probably... maybe Kindred 2?

A corpse is discovered and John plays detective. (? Kindred?)Maybe... it's a puzzler!

The city assailed by mutations infective. (Kindred?)This one I have NO idea for!

Call the doctor from Earth to help us take action, (Kavanaugh?)Yeah I think so

As the death of a loved one spurs McKay into action. (Kindred?)No idea

Get talked into escorting a precocious young brat. (Harmony)Yep

The experiment’s minions the team will combat. (Kindred)I think so

A battle is waged on the defender’s home field, (Midway)Oh yeah... good one

And the means of production is fully revealed. (SOW and one other ep?)This one was definitely SoW, JM said so

Two warriors head off an incursion on Earth. (Outcast)I think this one is Midway - Teal'c and Ronon against the wraith

A mission is snagged by an untimely birth. (SOW?)I thought so, but JM didn't mention it last week, he just said the 'means of production' line... hmm, I'm not sure about this one now.

The status quo shifts, a power play made. (SOW)Dunno... maybe Kindred?

The arrival of this one leave some feeling dismayed. (?)This is a really tough one too... maybe Kanan turning up?

An old friend returns, loyalties are reversed, (Carson, ?)Yeah, that would be Carson.

And a ghost from the past has us fearing the worst. ( Kolya)I don't know... maybe Bates... or Michael? Maybe Weir comes back and they've kept it REALLY quiet...

Atlantis the target of a mysterious race, (?)No idea!

While myriad permutations are viewed from space. (?)Maybe Last Man - the weird time anomaly thing?
